SOLO FROM ZERO
A downloadable guide
SOLO FROM ZERO: A Guided First Solo RPG Session
No game master. No rulebook to study. Just two six-sided dice, a pen, and a mystery at the last train platform.
SOLO FROM ZERO is a short, standalone introduction to playing a tabletop roleplaying story by yourself. It walks you through your first scene, explains how to ask useful questions and interpret 2d6 rolls, and gives you a complete example before inviting you to play your own story.
Inside the 6-page PDF:
- A simple five-move play loop and one 2d6 outcome table
- An original mystery opening, The Midnight Platform
- A worked example showing how rolls change the story
- A quick reference and prompt table for when you get stuck
- A printable session record sheet
- Both A4 and US Letter versions
You need: two six-sided dice (or a dice app), a pen, and some imagination. No other game system or account required.
Format: two downloadable, print-friendly PDF files (6 pages each). This is a short creative starter, not a full campaign or a supplement for another RPG.
Transparency: The text and layout were created with generative AI assistance and reviewed for internal consistency. This first edition has not been independently playtested.
Price: $3 minimum. You can choose to pay more, but you do not need to.
